I am an entrepreneur, small business owner, author, and researcher. I am also working on an open source project called Neuhub.

I am posting from Hubzilla with Neuhub via ActivityPub.

Este perfil es de un servidor federado y podría estar incompleto. Explorar más contenido en la instancia original.

If you believe the Fediverse should operate in an "opt-in" manner, why don't you create or join Fediverse servers that block everything by default, and only federate with servers that are deliberately whitelisted?

This isn't a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely curious.

scott,

@Chris Trottier No one is stopping someone from having an opt-in server. In fact, if you truly want privacy, you might want to check out Streams, where users can use the opt-in method themselves. Only stuff you allow in will be let in, and you can even make your posts private and visible to only people you select. So opt-in servers are already available. It's just not widely known at the moment.

Fediverse! I’ve been building a bridge to Bluesky, and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.

Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed (different account than this one), email me, file a GitHub issue, or put #nobridge in your profile bio.

A number of us have thought about this for a while now, we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly.

scott,

I think a lot of people think that Mastodon is the fediverse, and then freak out when they find out that it is actually connected to all of these other things too. I am guessing no one told them what federation is and how it works.

scott,

@Allen

The point we’re trying to make is this should be OptIn BECAUSE it’s created by a private entity, that’s all. It’s not an outrageous take.

Out of the over 46,000 independently operated servers on the fediverse, how many are run by private entities? I don't know but I am guessing that it is more than 1.

At least with Bluesky and Threads, it is easy to block. But I am guessing that it would be nearly impossible to figure out which of the 46,000 ActivityPub-enabled servers are commercial and which are not.

And Threads will be connecting to ActivityPub natively. And so will WordPress. Both will bring in millions of users.

I respect people's choice to block whomever they want, but the ActivityPub part of the fediverse already has commercial servers in it. Bluesky would just be one more, which you are free to block.

Hubzilla 8.8 comes with some nice new additions to the addons and many small improvements for the UI and under the hood.

Addons:

  • The Faces addon (requires python 3 and the python deepface library) will provide the Faces App which will detect faces in your photos and let you tag them. More info about this addon is available from its readme file.
  • The Logger Stats addon provides a tool for admins and developers to display various hub activities in a graphical way. It requires logging to be enabled to collect the data.

UI:

  • The content of the right aside area is now moved to the left aside on small screens.
  • Seen public stream items are now removed from the new public stream notifications area.

Under the hood:

  • We now use a new language detect library which supports 110 languages and should improve detection of rtl languages. Posts in rtl languages should now be displayed rtl. This library requires the PHP mbstring extension.
  • The gallery addon has been updated to use photoswipe version 5.
  • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

For a complete list of changes in Hubzilla 8.8 please refer to the changelog.

A big THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who supports Hubzilla and its development.
